Across the US, millions of Americans are planning on scaled-back Thanksgiving dinners, with only members of their immediate family “bubbles” invited. Mayors of some of America’s large cities, along with the governors of California, Oregon and Washington State, have asked residents to limit travel over the holidays.

As angst about the spoiled Thanksgiving holiday simmers, Dr. Anthony Fauci acknowledged Sunday during an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union” that American families should probably prepare to skip Christmas dinner, too.

About 10 months after Zero Hedge was suspended from Twitter and ridiculed by those peddling the “official” narrative about Covid-19 for an article we published asking critical questions about the origins of the coronavirus pandemic, the “mainstream” media finally appears to be asking those very same questions.

Trump’s new Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller sent a late Friday memo to the entire Department of Defense workforce signaling what the administration will be up to in Trump’s last weeks in office — a likely major US troop reduction, especially from the Middle East.

When news first broke about the headline numbers from Pfizer’s vaccine trial on Monday morning, we couldn’t help but wonder how the Trump Administration and the White House had seemingly been left out of the loop. The Biden team was reportedly briefed on the data Sunday, one day before its release. Meanwhile, many at the WH first learned about the data from the press.

Alors que le Royaume-Uni entre dans son deuxième confinement national, une lumière a émergé dans un petit pays d’Europe centrale. Le week-end dernier, la Slovaquie a testé 3,6 millions de personnes pour le coronavirus, soit 97% de la population éligible (personnes âgées de 10 à 65 ans).

In today’s video, we address the elephant in the room that nobody is talking about.

After  triumphing in a bitterly contested presidential election, all eyes are on President-Elect Joe Biden and who he will choose to run his new administration. For much of October, media spent their time dissecting the news that, despite living a lavish billionaire lifestyle, Donald Trump paid only $750 in federal income taxes in 2016 and 2017. In contrast, little was made of Biden’s self-published tax documents.

This week, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced the drafting of a new piece of legislation that would expand the state’s Stand Your Ground law. He is calling the legislation an “anti-mob” bill and it seems specifically targeted at the Black lives Matter movement and the ongoing protests against police brutality that have swept across the United States in recent months.

The new legislation, if it becomes law, would allow armed citizens in the state of Florida to shoot, and potentially kill anyone that they suspect of looting a home or business.

For decades, the Peach State was reliably red. But an increasingly diverse population in Georgia — coupled with the culmination of years-long efforts to fight the state’s deeply institutionalized voter suppression schemes — has meant that the state is projected to flip blue for the first time in 28 years. The state is also slated to hold run-off elections in early January for its two senate seats.

The word “coup” is being thrown about in American liberal media today, not because US liberals suddenly became uncomfortable with the fact that their nation constantly stages coups and topples governments around the world as a matter of routine policy, but because they are all talking about (you guessed it) Donald Trump.

Journalist Jeffrey Toobin, who was suspended by CNN and The New Yorker after he was caught masturbating on a Zoom call last month in full view of colleagues, has been fired by the latter publication.

Toobin confirmed his firing in a Wednesday tweet, writing “I was fired today by @NewYorker after 27 years as a Staff Writer.”

At a time when the Fed is already monetizing the entire US budget deficit thanks to helicopter money, sparking conversations about the utility of taxation, and when a Biden administration is set to at least try and roll back most of the Trump tax cuts, the last thing the population wants to hear about is even more taxes.

L’administration Joe Biden soulagera-t-elle la pression sur la Chine, avec moins d’antagonisme ? Bien que la rhétorique puisse être adoucie, l’idée maîtresse de la politique américaine, qui est d’empêcher Pékin d’atteindre un jour la parité internationale avec Washington, ne changera probablement pas.

Well you’ll be happy to know that the next US president and his crack team of ventriloquists are assembling a cabinet of mass murderers that’s as diverse, inclusive and intersectional as America herself.

It’s been obvious for a long time that Joe Biden’s cabinet would be packed with Obama holdovers, war pigs and whatever primary opponents he owes favors to, but now that he is the media-anointed winner of the presidential election we’re getting a bit more confirmation on who they’re expected to be.

Richard Pilger, Head of DOJ election crimes unit, has announced that he will be resigning in protest, after Attorney General William Barr authorized federal prosecutors across the United States to investigate claims of voter fraud at numerous polling places in different key battleground states.
